Brief Summary: Patients who are eligible for cardiac rehabilitation but do not want to participate will be offered to participate in an interview part A of the study or a tablet questionnaire part B of the study

Goal is to identify main barriers for conventional rehabilitation as well as to assess willingness to participate in cardiac telerehabilitation main barriers and willingness-to-pay for cardiac telerehabilitation
Detailed Description: Cardiac rehabilitation CR is indicated in patients with a wide range of cardiovascular diseases Its benefits are well-studied and participation in CR is thus stated as a Class IA recommendation in the 2016 European Guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice It is known however that participation rates are low This is due to multiple factors such as health system barriers eg lack of referral by doctors as well as patient factors eg travelling time to hospital

Telerehabilitation is a modality of cardiac rehabilitation that is widely studied to overcome barriers in conventional cardiac rehabilitation Most studies about telerehabilitation screen for potential rehabilitation candidates ask which patients are prepared to start centre-based rehabilitation and then start randomisation for centre-based or home-based rehabilitation

The hypothesis is that by offering a home-based alternative for centre-based rehabilitation patient participation rates will go up However this hypothesis has not been investigated

The willingness to participate in patients that refuse centre-based rehabilitation is thus scarcely studied

This study aims to assess the willingness to participate in telerehabilitation in patients that refuse conventional centre-based rehabilitation as well as the main reasons not to participate in centre-based rehabilitation

Methods

Patients that are eligible for participating in cardiac rehabilitation will be offered to do so as usual Those who do not wish to participate or are not sure whether they will participate in cardiac rehabilitation will be asked to participate in this study

The first part of this study is a pilot part in which 30 patients will be included These patients will be interviewed by one of the researchers dr Maarten Falter or dr Martijn Scherrenberg A semi-structured interview of 20 minutes will be performed to assess the most important barriers for rehabilitation willingness-to-pay and possible barriers for telerehabilitation as well as patient profile and socio-economic background Informed consent will also be asked to collect patient data from the hospital records age gender cardiac disease cardiac index event cardiac device implanted indication for rehabilitation date of primary cardiac event length of hospital stay cardiac rehabilitation history procedures performed comorbidities distance from home to hospital Mobiscore smoking status length weight medication ejection fraction as these factors are possible determinants of the outcome of our study

The second part of this study is a survey that will assess the most important barriers in 300 patients This survey will be constructed using the main barriers found in literature in combination with main barriers mentioned by the pilot population The survey will consist of multiple-choice questions and will again assess main barriers for participating in rehabilitation and telerehabilitation The survey will be completed using an iPad from the cardiology department using Qualtrics while the patient is still in the hospital The Qualtrics license is obtained via Hasselt University Informed consent will also be asked to collect patient data from the hospital records see variables above

All study results will be stored on a secured drive of Jessa hospital K-drive Only the health professionals with a therapeutic relation the principal investigator and the local investigator can access this list Data will be converted into a pseudonymized database for further statistical analysis in collaboration with the University of Hasselt or for analysis in collaboration with bachelor students of the University of Hasselt Patients will only be included in the Jessa hospital
